news ROOM Dymag partners New colours from Rieju with Troy Bayliss DYMAG, the British manufacturer of specialist lightweight motorcycle wheels, has announced a sponsorship with legendary three times World Super Bike and British Super Bike champion Troy Bayliss. “Our partnership with Troy comes at a really great time for our brand as we take further steps to return to our heartland in the racing arena,” said Chris Shelley, Chairman and owner of Dymag. “Troy is of course a legend in motorcycle racing and he will now be using our Carbon CA5 wheels on his Panigale 1199 and our TT3 magnesium wheels for his Ducati 1198S 2-Up experience at the Troy Bayliss Academy. “Many Formula 1, IndyCar, Moto GP and Superbike champions have used Dymags, so it’s great that we have teamed up with Troy, which is testament to the successful re-launch of Dymag in the high performance motorcycle wheel market,” concluded Shelley. Dymag created the world’s first three-spoke magnesium motorcycle racing wheels and the first road approved carbon composite wheel. Chris Shelley brought the company back from liquidation in 2009 and is now working to produce specialist motorcycle performance wheels for the classic racing and classic aftermarket.
